We don’t’ see things as they are, we see them as we are. - Anais Nin -

Barbara is one of the best speakers we have ever worked with, and would highly recommend her for any size group. She takes the time to get to know her target audience and any difficulties they may be experiencing, crafting her message accordingly. Listening to Barbara is so much more than sitting at a table and just listening to another speaker. She encourages active participation among her audience and invokes emotions during her presentation that leave a lasting impression. "Spreading Contagious Enthusiasm" is certainly a fitting slogan for her. Barbara leaves her audiences energized and feeling good about themselves knowing that they can make a significant difference.

Testimonials

We brought Barbara is to give three full-day sessions to allow all of our staff to participate. Response of staff was very favorable. As part of her program, Barbara had staff identify barriers to providing good customer service and also things we could do to enhance customer service. These lists were provided to the program sponsor for follow-up. Barbara's impact on staff was so positive that some began implementing the ideas even before we got all the lists compiled and could formulate an action plan! I rate Barbara's presentation as "excellent" and strongly recommend her to you.

Customer And Employee Loyalty

Building Customer Loyalty –
How YOU Can Help Keep Customers Returning!

Customer care, both internal and external, is the key to survival for organizations today. Not only must organizations acquire new employees and customers, but more importantly, they must keep the old ones. Research shows that it costs at least five times as much to attract a new customers as it does to retain an existing one, and the same is true for good employees. It becomes essential, then, for each individual in an organization, including those in the public sector, to understand what the service attributes are that create customer and employee loyalty.

After years of working in customer service, Barbara has come to believe that you cannot mandate customer service. It must come for the inside out. Using both internal and external customer loyalty research and dozens of no-cost, immediately implementable action ideas, Barbara will inspire employees and managers alike to CHOOSE to make a difference in all customer interactions.

You will learn amazing statistics about why customers leave or speak badly of your organization, models for evaluating every interaction, the four things all customers want, the difference between core service and customer service, and what her research has shown creates loyal customers.

When everyone begins to focus on what they CAN do and not on what is out of their control, they will find a new purpose in their work , and this new spirit of caring will make a difference in every interaction they have in their work and in their lives.
